VALVE.

Application filed March 25, 1924. Serial No. 701,804.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, CLEMENTS L. ARAGON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Maitland, in the county of Huerfano and State of Colorado, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Valves, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to a gas engine attachment, and more particularly to a fuel modifying device for use in connection with parts found in my rior cases or inventions '(hereinafter identi ed) for utilizing Waste vapors and gases in facilitating and cheapening the cost of operation of the motor.

This invention is an improvement upon the devices shown in my prior United States application, Serial 0.. 454,323, allowed August 25, 1922, and my application, Serial No. 567,488, filed June 10, 1922, relating to a Gas engine attachment.

IVith the foregoing and other objects in view, my invention comprises certain novel combinations, constructions and arrangements of parts as will be hereinafter described, drawings, and more particularly pointed out in ,the appended claims.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a view, in side elevation, of a device constructed in accordance with the present invention, showing the same applied to a gas engine.

Figure 2 is a fragmentary view of the entire device, showing the breather device in section.

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the cylindrical body of the breather device.

Figure 4 is a section, taken on line 4--4, Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawings by numerals, 1 designates the gas engine or motor, 2 is a carburetor, 3 is the intake manifold and 4 is the-manifold exhaust. The breather pipe or casing 5 (shown in my prior application, Serial No. 567,488) is mounted upon the forward end of the engine and to which is connected tube 6; tube 6 is connected at one end to the T-union 7.

The vapor atomizer 8 (shown in my prior application, Serial No. 454,323) is connected to the T-union 7 by means of tube 9.

The angle tube 10 is connected at its lower end to the T-union 7, and on its 0 posite end is an annular flange 11. This ange 11 is illustrated in the accompanyingnormally seated in the pocket 12 of theexternally threaded portion 13 of the c lindrical body 14 of the valve device 15. A cylindrical cap casing 16 is threaded at itsupper end upon the portion 13, and this casing is provided with an aperture 17 whereby air is permitted to enter the valve device 15 and thence pass into tube 10. A ball 18 is in casing 16- and it normally closes the opening 17 Upon the motor running the suction will be? suilicient to lift the ball 18 and allow hot? air to enter the device 15. I preferably place; the device 15 just above' the manifold 3 so;

that heated air will enter the device and;

thence pass to the vapor atomizer 8 for facilitating running of the motor. Y

A clamp device 19 is provided for holding the tube 10 and the valve device in position, close to the manifold, as shown in. Fig. 1. This clamp device is formed of resilient material and comprises a body 20 that is out wardly bowed and terminates in a U-shaped extension 21 in which rests a portion of the tube 10. The end 22 of the U-shaped portion 21 bears against the exhaust manifold 4, and when the screw 23 is in position (F i 4), holding the clamp device to the ex aust manifold, the U 21 of the clamp device will partly close over the tube 10, tightly clamping the tube 10 in position so that the parts will be snugly held together against dis placement or loosening.

It will be seen that I have provided simple and efficient means for supplying heated air to the vapor atomizer 8, besides utilizing the waste gases or vapors in. the motor through the medium of the breather casing 5, tube 6, T-union 7 and tube 9.

While I have bodiment of my invention, and have illustrated the same in the accompanying drawings, certain 'minor changes or alterations may appear to one skilled in theart to which this invention relates, during the extensive manufacture of the same and I, therefore.

reserve the rightto make such alterations or changes as shall fairly fall within the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is: 1. A valve, device for a gas engine come prising a cylindrical body provided with an externally threaded portion, said portion provided with a pocket and a passage .leading axially from the pocket upwardly through the body, a tube extending throug said passage and having its inner end prodescribed the preferred emvided with an annular flange seated in said pocket of the threaded portion, an apertured cap casing threaded at one end upon said threaded portion, and a ball in said cap casing movable longitudinally therein between the aperture of the cap and pocket of said body.

2. A ment comprising a body having a reduced externally threaded extension, said body provided with a pipe-receiving passage disposed axially of the reduced extension and valve devioe for a gas engine attach-v having one end portion enlarged to provide a pocket opening through the end of the threaded extension, a casing threaded on said extension, said casing provided with an aperture aligned with said passage, and a ball in said casing normally closing said aperture and adapted to move partly into said pocket and permit air through said aperture.

In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature.
